Nate Diaz pleads self defense against charge of second degree battery in New Orleans

Nate Diaz is claiming self-defense after an altercation with a Logan Paul look-a-like landed him in hot water with the New Orleans Police Department.

The former UFC star was in town on Friday night for the DAZN Misfits 006 boxing event at the XULA Convocation Centre. Multiple video clips emerged online throughout the evening, the first showing Diaz chucking a water bottle at reality TV star Chase DeMoor inside the venue. The incident incited a brief scuffle that was quickly contained. However, once outside, all hell broke loose with DeMoor engaging in a street fight with multiple men believed to be part of Nate Diaz’s entourage.
